Streaming anywhere? All I see on Eurosport (1) is Tour de Dope

Coverage should start in 6 minutes from now, hopefully the pharmacy report will be over then

I hope the same


Incredible, Tour De Dope gone, bring on the World Series! Should be interesting with Martinez and Baguette on P7 and P8 (which means Baguette on pole for race 2 and Martinez sharing the front row)

Race was average. A few great overtakes and a lot of nothing else.

I'm interested to see footage from the (UK) Clios though, apparently they have a new body package for this round

Everyone was already follow-the-leader single-file halfway round the opening lap. I gave up watching at that point.

Couple of people tonked into each other in front of us at Abbey - was a pretty average race apart from that.

The Megane race was amusing though, although probably for the wrong reason. Was at Luffied for that and there was a guy who was massively, massively slower than anyone else. After about 2 laps the whole grandstand started cheering and whooping him every time he went past, until he disappeared into the pits midway through the race and never came out again. Hope we didn't upset him :lol:

EDIT: Rafael Unzurrunzaga. Was (by our estimate) about 12 seconds per lap slower than the leaders.

For all the whining about Spa recently people seem to be giving the Silverstone GP course an easy ride.

Its not the best. Well, tbh, the cars on it aren't the best either.

But WSBR should really think about using the International layout....would be better for them IIRC, and definately for the support races.

I'll be there tomorrow so I hope for some entertaining races.

Am disappointing it's at Silverstone though. Donnington was a great track to visit!

Whens race 2?

Fauzy was entertaining to watch, he did some great overtaking moves. Shame that race 2 isn't broadcast on eurosport (at least not live)

I suppose it doesn't look too bad. A bit longer nose. Should help with all the contact in the series! :lol:

Anyone seen WSR race 2?

And how were the Supports anyway? Did they struggle to put on a show on the GP course like last year? :?

Pretty much single file.

I was there, getting burnt to a crisp, sitting at Abbey. We saw quite a lot of action but the Renault world series and Renault Megane's were a little dull. Not sure what was happening around the rest of the circuit as I couldn't hear the speakers and they don't seem to transmit the commentary over short wave radio anymore...

Clio's were good and so were the two Formula Renault 2.0 races I saw. Great displays and Mansell doing donuts was pretty sweet and it was all FREE!

I was at Silverstone too, and Unzurrunzaga makes me laugh every year. :D I can't think of anyone else in another series who is so consistently off the pace by miles! Didn't seem to be any cheering at Club though.

Found out via car stereo on the drive out that it was broadcast on MW... unfortunately I only had an FM radio at the track though. The commentary used to be on FM and they'd hand out a free shitty-quality Renault branded pocket radio on the way in.

Ah, well MW licences are much cheaper and allow them to broadcast more often...so I guess that's why they did it
